We can all relate to that cartoon I think. What’s great are those moments of clarity when we take an unexpected turn.

Perhaps an elephant will help clear things up?

It’s January, 2001 and I’m in a snowy parking lot in Blaine, MN walking to my rental car after giving a workshop to the USA Cup folks on how to publish photos and scores in real time to youth soccer tournament websites with a man named Said who taught me how to say “Iran” properly and ever since that conversation, I’ve wanted to visit Tehran and hang with him and his friends, maybe kick a soccer ball around a little. Whenever Iran comes up in the news, I’m in that parking lot and my head says “Iran” properly. I hope both America and Iran gets their sh*t together soon because I really want to see Tehran before I shuffle off this mortal coil...

I think ‘bendy’ would be a great way to describe some days!

Obstacles in writing, or problems as I refer to them, are great challenges because overcoming or solving them has always vastly improved the work.

Good luck at the Medium conference. It looks robust!
